Lipoprotein alterations in patients with HIV infection: relation with cellular and humoral immune markers.

In order to determine lipid abnormalities in serum in HIV-infected patients and their relation with humoral and cellular immunological changes. Ninety HIV-infected patients without acute inflammatory or malignant disease have been studied. Thirty healthy HIV-negative subjects constituted the control group. As compared with controls, patients with CD4 + lymphocytes > 400 x 10(6)/l had higher triglycerides and lower high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo)-A1. Lipoprotein comparison by groups of patients according to CD4 + cell counts showed a decrease of HDL-cholesterol in patients with CD4 + cells < or = 200 x 10(6)/l. When CD4 + lymphocyte counts were < 50 x 10(6)/l, total and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglycerides and VLDL-cholesterol were increased and HDL and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and apo-A1 were decreased. Interferon (IFN)-alpha, beta2-microglobulin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha were correlated positively with total and VLDL-triglycerides and negatively with HDL-cholesterol. In conclusion, lipoprotein changes in patients with HIV-infection are related with humoral and cellular immune markers. A decrease of HDL-cholesterol and apo-A1 and an increase of triglyceride levels could be considered as markers of disease progression.

[The health of a city: Seville in the turn-of-the-century crisis].

In this article we analyze three projects for urban reform in Seville in which health constitutes a primary element. These three projects are framed within the dialectic process of degeneration-regeneration which characterized the last decade of the nineteenth century in Spain, and which was a basic aspect of the collective way of thinking. Healthiness became an argument used by groups and individuals with the objective of defending their interests, in this case, those related to the use of urban space.
